===== Part 6 ======
Use the needle to search for hidden screws.
There are only 4: one in the left-upper corner (near the lid-hinge) and 3 under the plastic-covers in front. (but be aware that models change and that
Sony might spare some screws or add new ones to face experinced problems)
Use a flat-screwdriver or the toothpic to remove the plasic-buttons at the lower front.
You will find another 3 silver-screws in the battery bay and one in the RAM-Bay. Remove them all, assort them according to size into the small boxes (or dishes or whatever) and mark the hole with your pencil. As I am German, I chose "s" for silver, "k" for "kurz" and "L" for long. Inside the mashine you will face another type of Ultra-short black and fat silver scew (but also this could change...)
When all Screws are out, lets watch the hinges.
Start with removing the cap on the charger-plug-side "left side when under usage" its the easier one and has only one notch to bend away before pulling it of (also this could change when they improve the laptop!)
The right hinge is a little more delicate, it has 2 notches and there are some cables. Please do only use the wooden toothpick for not piercing the cables!
Here you see the right cover taken off the notches are to be found at 1°° and at 6°° I hope you will treat yours a little smarter than I did with mine... now as my laptop is reassambled I don't see any scratches anymore... but it could be!
Finally one makro of the hinge-site:
DON'T do that Oger-style, or you will pierce the cables. They are silicone-covered and very soft!
